This is the one of the best First Flush teas of the season, particularly in the Chinese leaf category. It was from an early invoice of the year and not even knowing what may have come later in the season, I knew I was unlikely to taste anything better. As good, perhaps, but not better.

The infusion is a lovely, bright yellow with a fresh aroma. The flavour and aroma is a complex one that carries hints of herbal and flowery characteristics. The special thing about this tea and unusually for a First Flush is the hint of ‘Muscatel’ sweetness in the aftertaste. Singbulli is situated in the Mirik Valley of Darjeeling.
